SPEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 230,535, dated July2'7, 1880.

Application filed May 3, 1880. (No model.) D

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NAPOLEON DU BRUL, of Cincinnati,Hamilton county,Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cigar-Molds, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention is designed as an improvement in the class of cigar-moldplungers represented in the subject-matter of Patent No. 125,005,granted to John Baxter, March 26, 1872, andiu which the plungers consistof a metallic curb or margin which surrounds a Wooden central portion orfilling.

In my improvement the metallic shell, curb, or casing is of sheet metal,usually tinned sheet-iron, which is bent around the wooden matrix orbody of the plunger, and has flanges preferably inbent and driven intogrooves, kerfs, or creases-in the body. The ends of the strip of metalcomposing the curb are bent around the butt end of the body, and areeither secured by solder or by being. nailed to,

the body.

Several modifications will be described in the sequel.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a transverse section of a fewmolds embodying my invention. Fig. 2 shows one of my marginal or curbstrips detached. Fig. 3 shows, by transverse section, a number ofmodifications of my invention.

A represents a portion of the lower member of a multiplex cigar-mold,and may be composed, as usual, of wood, and of the customary form.

B are wooden body-pieces or fillingsof my plungers, glued or otherwiseattached to back C, and being grooved at b to receive the inturnedflanges d of a strip of sheet'metal, D, which constitutes the margin,curb, or shell of the plunger.

The inturned edges being cut and bent to the body, substantially as setforth.

form the flanges d, the latter are forced or driven intothe grooves orkerfs bin the body, and the strip itself being bent around the 4 5 body,its overlapping ends d are secured by a tack or solder to the butt-endof the body.

At 20 w y z are represented modifications of my composite plunger.

At w, the metallic casing being flangeless, 0 its upper edges are madeto enter and occupy kerfs b in the body-flanges b For additionalsecurity, the casing may be sprigged or punch-pricked to the body, as atd.

In the form shown at as the body and its flange back piece, beingseparate, are excavated, one or both, to receive the inturned flanges ofthe casin g, and are glued or sprigged together and to the back board.

Forms y and 2 show outturned. flanges d fastened to the casing, which issecured to the body either by prick-punching, as at y, or by sprigs, asat z. I

I claim as new and of my invention- 1. A cigar-mold whoseupper matrix orplunger is composed of a wooden body, B, incased by a sheath orcurb-strip, D, of sheet metal, whose upper edges are flanged, and whoselower edges extend beyond the concave face of 2. A cigar-mold whoseupper matrix or plunger is composed of a wooden body incased by acurb-strip of sheet metal, whose lower edges extend beyond the concaveface of the body, and whose upper edges are provided with inturnedflanges d, which occupy kerfs or grooves in the body, in the mannerdesignated.

In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.
